Four trends on our roads will boost “the next Mobility revolution” in and

between cities

Cities will manage and inspire…

Centrally managed traffictowards city strategy and KPIs

Point-to-point connectivityseamless across all modes

Demand responsivewith flexible routes and schedules

Fully automated SDVs onlydifferentiated by user groupsand capacity

Mainly shared fleets,as a service and opento various fleet operators

All electricwith 100% renewable power

Our vision – cities will manage the complete mobility ecosystem

to achieve its throughput, pollution, safety and energy targets

The “smart crossing” brings together

▪ Traffic lights and controller

▪ Detection systems

▪ Variable message signs

▪ Dynamic prioritization for different

vehicles such as public transport,

bikes and emergency vehicles

▪ Dynamic green wave

▪ Adaptive street lighting

▪ In-vehicle information for drivers

(e.g. Time-to-Green)

→ Providing full connectivity,

proactive control and maximum IT

security at the same time

For an intersection this vision could mean the intelligent

integration of various systems into one „smart crossing“Advanced

Activities in APAC

India• Video-analytics-based vehicle

counting

Australia & New Zealand• SCATS certification for sX controller

• Rail2X trial for approaching rail

crossing warning

China• Zhuhai: traffic management system

incl. UTC, real-time data, traveler

information system, LRT

prioritization

• Suzhou: V2X test field

Singapore• Development for tunnel management

for North South Corridor

• Research collaboration agreement

with LTA and A-STAR for CRUISE

Vietnam• Hanoi: running PoC for video-

analytic based traffic management


PoC: Hanoi’s growing population requires investments in

traffic infrastructure to avoid worsening of traffic congestion

Infrastructure

Only 800 out of 3,300 inter-sections are

equipped with traffic signals3

Air pollution

Hanoi’s air pollution index

is 4x higher than

recommended by the World Health Organization2

Traffic volume

5.8 mio. vehicles, thereof

90% motorcycles,

increase of cars due to restriction of motorcycles from 2030

Traffic Congestion

Annual cost of congestion are estimated

to be 1.2 billion USD, loss of more

than 1 million working hours per year1

Population

Hanoi has ~8 mio. Citizens, growing

up to 9.2 million by 2030

Project VAST aims to optimize the traffic flow by deploying

state-of-the-art technology

Objectives of Project VAST (Video Analytics for Smart Traffic)

• Detecting vehicles in non-lane-based traffic

by applying AI-based video analytics on video

streams from existing CCTV

• Optimizing the traffic flow & increasing the

intersections’ throughput by simulation and

feeding detection data into a cloud-based traffic

management system, managing the on-site sX

controller

• Reducing electricity consumption by

installing state-of-the-art road infrastructure

(1 Watt sX controller and traffic lights)


PoC: AI-Enabled Vehicle Detection & Classification

Functional with non lane-

based traffic patterns

Can be trained to include

different vehicle classes

Compatible with regular HD

CCTV cameras


PoC: Technical architecture with CCTV via Scala

ASP: Application Service Provisioning


PoC: Traffic Statistics Dashboard


Results of the PoC – in brief

>15% average increaseof traffic throughput at the intersection

Ease of traffic densitytowards the city centre

30-50% energy savingsthrough the deployment of 1 Watt technology

Roll-out of the solution throughout

the city will multiply these benefits
